<span>Let the original number of seats in a row be x;
</span>Let the number rows be y;

( x + 3) * (y - 2 )= 72 and x * y = 72 => 72 + 3 * y - 2 * x = 72 => 3 * y = 2 * x;
=> x is divisible by 3;

1. x = 3 => y = 72 / 3 => y = 24;
2. x = 6 => y = 72 / 6 => y = 12;
3. x = 9 => y = 72 / 9 => y = 8;
4. x = 12 => y = 72 / 12 =. y = 6;
5. x = 24 =. y = 72 / 24 => y = 3;
6. x = 36 => y = 72 / 36 => y = 2;
7. x = 72 => y = 72 / 72 => y = 1;

My analysis tell me that the right answer is 9 seats in a row and 8 rows;
The original number in each row is 9.

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{20}

Cross multiply to solve for x:

3 · 20 = 5 · x

60 = 5x

Divide by 5:

12 = x.

Answer:

the student in question bought 3 large notebooks and 3 small notebooks

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest way to explain how to do this is by recognizing that the student bought $54 worth of notebooks- which is not divisible by 10 easily. that means, we should subtract 8 from 54 until we get a number that IS divisible

54 - 8 = 46 (one small notebook)

46 - 8 = 38 (two small notebooks)

3 8 - 8 = 30 (three small notebooks)

then, divide 30 by 10 to see how many large notebook the student bought.

30/10 = 3

the student in question bought 3 large notebooks and 3 small notebooks

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf x = 55\°}

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles of it add up to 180 degrees.

Here,

∠DCB + ∠DAB = 180 (Opposite angles of a quad inscribed in a circle.)

<u>Given that:</u> ∠DCB = 135° and ∠DAB = x

135 + x = 180

Subtract 135 to both sides

x = 180 - 135

x = 55°

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
